Meet Michelle Ashley, Round 1 grantee and owner of Buzz City Bar & Grill, a restaurant on historic Beatties Ford Road. Owner, Michelle Ashley, opened the restaurant and bar for the community to come in and feel a safe environment with food, fun and spirits.

A Beyond Open grant will be used to purchase a catering and delivery vehicle.

“I’ll now have the ability to more efficiently pick up inventory for the restaurant and to cater to the community, especially the elderly through food delivery.”
